| Naum said: Yes BMI is flawed... but it still works for 90% of the population the rest 10% are athletes7bodybuilders etc etc and for them the BMI index isnt someting to follow but as I said it works for the rest of us. |
10 % of what population are athletes/bodybuilders ? I'd guess Athletes and Bodybuilders would account for 0.2 -1% of any given population but that's just a guess.
Calling something flawed is different from something that has flaws , representing "90%"(your percentage) of a population accuratley would indicate to me that the BMI system has flaws but isn't flawed itself.
